ERROR ImportKey error: GPG error: exit status 2

`prompt ~ $ keybase login`

`prompt ~ $ keybase pgp select`

`\# Algo Key Id Created UserId`

`\= ==== ====== ======= ======`

`1 4096R CFB251E356B27251 my e-mail addresses associated with the key`

`Choose a key: 1`

**`▶ ERROR ImportKey error: GPG error: exit status 2`**

Anyone got any idea what is going wrong here?

I have the most recent version of keybase.

`arndt@arndt-ThinkPad-X1-Carbon ~ $ keybase version`

`Client: 1.0.14-1`

`Service: 1.0.14-1`

I am running Linux Mint 17.3. and am using PGP successfully with Enigmail and Thunderbird.

Start by reproducing the `keybase login` and `keybase pgp select` commands in the reported Linux Mint 17.3 environment, using the listed GPG key and version information. Investigate why importing the selected key returns GPG exit status 2; done means the key selection completes successfully without the ImportKey error.
